"Toni Cade is for me, by far one of the most inspirational thinkers and activists. Her books and essay collections could be my entire list, but I chose this one because of her approach to this traumatic event in novel form, which was an inspiration about how to approach historical fact through narrative--which as her editor Toni Morrision believes—and I’m paraphrasing, badly—might be the most efficient way to actually get to the truth." — MKH
